First, housekeeping, I am new to Porsche and this site. Is there a thread where I should introduce myself?
Now, my problem. My 914 has rusted through the metal panel located under the spare tire. From the top of the car I can see the suspension. Can this be fixed? Does anyone know of a source for a new panel and what this panel is called? Thanks, Jason |

Looks pretty bad. I don't really understand how the inner fender can rust out like that. Looks like there is a welding seam there. Has the front section been replaced? That's a serious project. It's doable, but it's a lot of hours and a lot of work to get it right. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)
